From back cover: Heroic as its Martyrs were, the early Church was not naive. It realized that sin dwelt in the members of Christ's Body; the saints were far from perfect. Next, the Church of the Doctors and the Councils, and, in due time, the Church of the Empires East and West knew that the Gospel's reception as Christendom's rule of life had come at a price.

From back cover: This is an introduction to theology inspired by the Great Tradition. The Church must meet the world with the discerning affection it deserves by virtue of God's creative mandate, but it can do so only by drawing its sense of identity from faith abandon to the One True God and God's Only-begotten Son.

In Volume Two/2 catholic theology treats some of the great Western attempts at reflecting on the nature of God; it also takes on modern Western religiosity, both as it professes belief in God and as it has settled for various forms of atheism. But more importantly, the book discovers and rediscovers the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, of Moses and the prophets the God of Jesus Christ. Frans Jozef van Beeck, born in the Netherlands in1930, a Jesuit since 1948, and a priest since 1963, has lived and learned (and taught) in the United States since 1968. He is a senior professor of theology at Loyola University, Chicago.

From the back cover: Having heard and heeded the Word of Israel's God, the Christian tradition holds that all of Creation is suspended between God and nothingness, and that it is humanity's distinctive privilege and responsibility to be aware of this and to live by that awareness. This deeply affects everything we think and do, both individually and in common.

This volume of God Encountered explores the human habit of balking at both death and love, especially the intimate love that accepts death as its measure. It also suggests the transformation of this habit offered us by God, with a pained love, of the kind that is in the end irresistible. The Jewish and Christian traditions say that we neither know nor love the eternal source not only of all cosmic energy but also of the human thirst for truth and goodness: God. Yet, only by God are we inclusively known and intimately loved, from eternity. God promises to be our lasting good, to live with us forever, acknowledged by all. Thus the Great Tradition knows of a plight infinitely worse than falling victim first to mindless passion and then also to the fatal seduction of our "best judgments." Such a plight is turning from God; being addicted, with Adam and Eve, to mastery and judgment; living in fear of death. Our world is finding this "theonomous" reading of the human condition unlikely. Why? Father van Beeck offers his explanation.
